*. Three Youngbloods, no relation -- except for true Rambrotherhood.
**. Heisman Trophy (Horvath – Ohio St., 1944; Baker – Oregon St., 1962).
***. Brothers Merlin & Phil Olsen played Rams DT, side by side, early 70s. Only two I know of in NFL, ever.

:ram:

Now on the list with No. 79 ... Mark LaVoir G/T that played with the Rams last year.

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6...45ffea87_m.jpg

"Let's see ... Stephen Spach ... Stephen Spach. Yup, you're on the list!" ^_^ Supported the Rams last year at TE with a No. 81 NFL shirt.

No doubt there will be quite a few player changes for 2012 under Fisher! But as the intro to this list reads, there have always been, and will always be, professional players of great renown as well as elements virtually unknown in any roster. Some played for 20 years, others for 20 minutes.

Veteran Justin Bannan came in last year to help at DT, used No. 95. http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/.e1d/img/...ayers/6025.jpg

Rookie TE Lance Kendricks is wearing jersey 88. - http://static.foxsports.com/fe/image...x170/24834.jpg

Both of you are on the list! :)

Wearing No. 94, rookie DE Robert Quinnnnnnn! He's now in!

Come on! Who else is missing since 1946... :ram:

Rookie receiver Greg Salas wears No. 87. ...Didn't shine as expected, but I'm still rooting for him in 2012!

Heroes of yesterday: Lamar Lundy, DE (played some pro TE). Entire NFL career was with the Rams (1957-69), wearing No. 85 as mainstay of the Fearsome / Fantastic Four. Big man at 6 ft 7", his long arms batted down quite a few passes.

http://image2.findagrave.com/photos/...7237376716.jpg -- http://www.indiana-football.org/images/lundyLA.jpg -- http://1450thesportsbuzz.com/Portals...bloodj_203.jpg

After Lundy, the next Rams player to don No. 85 was none other than the great Jack Youngblood whose HOF career merited this jersey to be retired.


http://www.freepicksbyemail.com/imag...ted_arrows.gif Question: Was there another Rams player before Lamar Lundy to use No. 85? ;)

Heroes from the past -- two of them from this group with No. 76: Big Bob Brown, HOF and Rams T in 1969-70. Boomer was a mean, strong, tough hombre. Quite smart too. His first tenure with the Rams they went undefeated 11-0 (14 game seasons). // Fast forward to 1997 -- another big, pancake-loving tackle, Orlando Pace, also wears No. 76 and is part of the SB XXXIV Champions team.

Speaking of No. 76, another of the founders of the Ferrocious Foursome was DT Rosey Grier, playing for the Rams 1963-66. Also known for his other less violent occupations: Actor, Christian minister (ordained), macrame / needlepoint artisan, and singer. Helped wrestle the handgun away from Bobby Kennedy's assassin the night of the murder in Los Angeles.

Did you think we were going to leave Brandon Lloyd out of this list!?! No. 83 is currently being 'pulled away' by a couple of other teams but we'll see. Would sure be great, IMHO, to keep him as a starting receiver with the Rams!

http://cdn1.sbnation.com/entry_photo...xtra_large.jpg -- http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.word...6650.jpg?w=227

From the 83 WRs stock: Flipper Anderson; Kevin Curtis; Yo Murphy.

A good DT that we drafted in 2001: Ryan Pickett, No. 79. http://www.tsxdata.com/NFL/mugs/ryanpickett.jpg

Played five years with the Rams -- we should have kept him! Too bad.

T Jason Smith, No. 77. Hopefully he'll still be around the Rams locker room with a strong return.

WR Dane Looker scored a few TD, returned kicks and excellent ball holder too. Played seven years, all with the Rams (2002-08), No. 89.

A good back-up DE in 1967-68 was Gregg Schumacher, he only played two years in the NFL, both with the Rams, then injuries truncated his career much too early. I remember that No. 81 (seen below in game vs Vikings, Dec. '68: Rams 31- Vikes 3).

How about Ricky '1st Down' Proehl! Played five years with the Rams (1998-02), part of that historic GSOT. Very fine receiver. No. 87.

http://planetrams.5u.com/proehl.jpg - http://sportsthenandnow.com/wp/wp-co...me-300x207.jpg

Also No. 87, TE Billy Truax, one of my early Rams heroes. He played with us 1964-70.

Drew Hill, WR, played his first five years in the NFL with the Rams (1979-84 sans '83), including our 1st SB. He used jersey 87. Sadly, he died too early at age 54 last year.
